Damn good list. I'll give you 10 but they won't be in order. Dark Souls, Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines, Final Fantasy VI, Gothic II, Deus Ex, Devil Summoner 2, , Torchlight 2, Planescape Torment, Baldur's Gate 2, Suikoden III

Not to shabby at all lol thats a great list as well and wasnt it FFVII the one with aries dying?

Yeah Aerith dies in FFVII but I like VI better. The fact that the villain actually succeeds and destroys the world half way through the game is just fantastic.

I forgot to add Vampire: Masquerade to my list. Oops.

Yea its hard to pick 10 but ffVII was the only game i ever played that made me tear up so i have to go with it i still cant beleive she died.   :(

10. Borderlands

Those are some heavy hitters on your list.  I do find it humorous that you listed both Ar tonelico 1 & 2 in the same spot, but considering how the whole trilogy is linked (you need to play Qoga) it does make sense.

Anyway, my top 10 list is a bit of a mess and changes all the time.  I simply enjoy too many games, which makes it hard for me to stick to a definitive list.  I can give you an idea of my interests, though (which is mostly action rpgs).  In no particular order, my top 10 rpgs would include:

Soul Blazer
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
King's Field
Shining Soul II
Crystalis
Ys I & II Chronicles
Ys III: Wanderers from Ys
Ys VI: The Ark of Napishtim
Dungeon Siege III
Zelda II: The Adventure of Link

I must admit im a bit surprised by Dungeon Seige III although i havent got very far in it i do find it intersting but not a top 10 well unless theres more to it then i have seen :p

Dungeon Siege III has a ton of gameplay depth.  I had the opportunity to really dig into the game over the course of several playthroughs (I played couch co-op with my brother to help him get the Platinum trophy), before buying the game for myself and doing it all over again.  All told, I played through Dungeon Siege III twelve times - I even went through hardcore by myself - and I still wasn't tired of it.  It's a true-to-form action-rpg (especially when played on hardcore) that places a greater emphasis on player skill and the ability to dodge and counterattack.  That's my favorite type of gameplay system, and I was lucky that everything else in the game enhanced it.

Favorite RPGs, in no particular order (I'm sure I'll forget something lol):

-Final Fantasy VI (okay, that one is my favorite)

-Chrono Trigger

-Chrono Cross (does not deserve the hate)

-Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga

-Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

-Mass Effect

-Radiant Historia

-Super Mario RPG

-Secret of Evermore

-Baten Kaitos

Hmm, I seem to love those Mario RPGs. Can't wait for Dream Team this August!
